NDP Councillors had better reign Eby in before he redlines their support.
Reiterating that this is another nail in the party's coffin in province. I will be voting Green next election based on Eby's policies as of late.

HEY CANADIANS
Looks like Canada is going to shut down over-the-air VHF Weatheradio in March? Here's deets:
If you want to let people know you don't like that here's where:

I know this doesn't affect that many people but they gave like no warning so I guess now's the time to say something if you care.

Wow, Carney is not only calling POTUS bluff but seems to be baiting him. Hope it works in our favour.🤞
“Canada cannot solve all the world’s problems, but we can show that another way is possible: that the arc of history isn’t destined to be warped towards authoritarianism and exclusion, it can still bend towards progress and justice...
"Canada doesn't live because of the United States," the prime minister shot back in a nearly 30-minute address. "Canada thrives because we are Canadian."

I kind of hate everything about the WEF & to me, PM Carney is a huge disappointment on multiple fronts, BUT I kind of have to admit that this speech is kinda fire & I'm really glad someone pointed out that the emperor is wearing no clothes & nations need to get off their asses & do something about it.
"The power of the less powerful begins with honesty."

CW: Taxation
Why do I keep saying that landowners are the ones that should pay higher taxes?
It's because it doesn't make sense to me that land ownership should be respected for "not paying into the system".
Like, if you want to play this silly game that little boys play of territorialism in elementary school playgrounds, where they draw imaginary boundaries, then by all means do so.
But for people who didn't consent to it, you gotta have a good reason why the respect for imaginary boundaries should be enforced.
To make it really easy: don't tax improvements; just land ownership.

Petition in #Canada to reunite Canadian citizen Sophia Papp with her spouse, Zain Haq, through his admission into Canada.
Mr Haq has been deported for nonviolent #climate #activism. His actions were consistent with those of Steven Guilbeault, Bob Rae & Elizabeth May.
Also, Marc Miller, acknowledged the merit of Haq's case during his time as Minister.

Another advisory body in Canada finds Canadians support electoral reform. The movement gains momentum.

CW: Canadian politics and immigration
RE: https://techhub.social/@manlycoffee/115514636004092575
(Re-posting, but different, because I just found out today that my server supports quote-boosting.)
I wrote this parable to criticize Canada's immigration situation.
During heightened immigration, whenever I'd raise concerns that we're bringing in too many people without offering the proper support structures, I'd get accused of being a xenophobe.
Fast forward to a housing crisis, and increased youth unemployment rate, now people have unfortunately become jaded against immigrants, even though newcomers do not deserve the hate.
That, and the government has now slammed on the breaks on immigration.
This cut in immigration numbers is bad.

The period we are entering is a period of deep chaos, of the weakening of international institutions, of multiple, interlocked collapses. Any reliance on international institutions and their restoration is a false hope. If Canada is to remain a stable democracy, we will have to find the stability in ourselves. A whole society defence would bolster us against the chaos that threatens us from every side and from within. In an era of splintering society, conscription is a force of unification, what Pesu calls “a strong democratic linkage”. Canada is a big country, with huge geographical and demographic diversity. We are as vulnerable as any other society to the informational chaos that is overtaking the world, to the incipient breakdown. A whole society defence would be a massive force for unification. It would establish, to Canadians at least, that there are crises we are going to face and we need to face them collectively. The thing about a whole society defence is that it determines that you are living in a whole society, a society that needs defending.

This may be our last chance to save the remnants of the Palestinian people. Please share this open letter with your elected representatives and ask everyone you know to do the same.
Here's what I added as introduction.
As a Canadian and a human being, I demand that the government of Canada take action on my behalf to end the genocide of the Palestinian people. Words are not enough. It's imperative that we act now. Read the open letter linked here and do something IRL.
"Motivated by our deep scholarly and ethical engagement with political violence and mass atrocity, including the Nazi genocide of Jewish people, we helped found the Genocide and Holocaust Studies Crisis Network in April. More than 400 scholars of genocide and Holocaust studies from two dozen countries joined within weeks of its launch. The rapid growth of the group testifies to the urgency of this moment. Today, along with hundreds of humanitarian organizations, dozens of governments, and millions of protesting students and citizens across the globe, we call for immediate concrete measures to prevent further atrocity crimes and to protect civilians."

If I were a tyrannical leader of Canada, I'd:
- ban municipalities from collecting improvements taxes, and have them be forced to rely exclusively on land tax
- make it unconstitutional for the median Canadian to have more than 30% of their take-home pay go towards shelter cost (mortgage and/or rent). If the government fails to ensure this, they have to foot the difference (not landlords or other financiers)
- make it unconstitutional for the median Canadian to be on the tenant market for too long. The government failing to enforce this right may face punitive measures levied against it
- provide constitutional protection for home builders, and home providers (such as landlords)
- ban rent control -
Extremely depressed about Canada Post workers (RIGHTFULLY) striking again. I love the mail service...
I'm more just so so disappointed in the upper management groups utter failings, and the overpayment of CEOs and upper management; with some sort of expectations that the people with real boots on the ground aren't worthy of the requested pay increases and benefits.
(It is also scary seeing external audit groups/fed gov departments saying Canada Post is insolvent????? huh???)

Chapman's Ice Cream Instagram post with a statement from Ashley Chapman, Chief Operating Officer. The statement addresses the impact of Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian businesses. It emphasizes the company's commitment to absorbing cost increases to maintain prices and their efforts to find alternative international suppliers for ingredients unavailable in Canada. The message concludes with a declaration of reinforcing Canadian-first policies and a commitment to never becoming the 51st state.Alt Text
